Well said Jaemi. Finally, another Scottish football realist.

Great business (for him aye) but they are a selling club who will always sell their best players. Not so good for the fans, especially when the money they recieve isn't invested in players of the same quality. "Building for the future"

They will be lucky if they win a wee League Cup every 10 years. They won it in 2007 so....2017? "Building for the future"
They've finished 6th in the past 2 seasons because they've sold many players over them last 2/3 seasons. You don't seem to understand that these things take time... awaiting players coming through the youth ranks, etc. It's a by-product of eliminating debt.

In case you haven't realised... the majority of clubs in the SPL are selling clubs. That's what small teams have to do to survive. The fans would love for all the top players to stay and build a team worth challenging for more honours. It's just not financially feasible.

And the League Cup statement applies to every team out-with the Old Firm.

That's just Scottish Football for you...
